STOOL, R/E

Description

Stool Routine Examination (Stool R/E) is an essential diagnostic test that examines your pet’s faecal sample to detect intestinal parasites, infections, and digestive abnormalities. At Home Petcare offers at-home stool sample collection and testing for dogs and cats in Hyderabad.

What Does Stool R/E Detect?

– Protozoa: Giardia, Coccidia
– Bacterial overgrowth
– Abnormal bacterial flora
– Blood in stool (occult blood)
– Undigested food particles

Methods Used in Stool Examination:
– Direct Smear: Quick screen for parasites and motile organisms
– Flotation: Most common method — floats parasite eggs to the surface for microscopic identification
– Centrifugation: Enhanced recovery of parasite eggs from low-burden infections

When Should You Get a Stool Test for Your Pet?

– Vomiting
– Weight loss despite eating well
– Visible worms or segments in stool
– Blood or mucus in faeces
– Annual wellness check-up
